Ghosts of Edinburgh’s Vaults

As always, I was surfing the net for news of the  strange and came across this odd little story (along with real ghost pictures!).  Apparently, a tourist was taking photos in those famous Niddry Street vaults in Edinburgh.  Of course everyone who has a sense of adventure goes on these ghost tours, but these particular vaults have been getting a lot of attention lately, especially in light of the fact they were featured on Most Haunted.  One tourist snapped quite a few photos and there appears to be a few skeletons appearing in those photos, on the wall, and one that looks like it is sitting in a crumpled position on the floor.  While I leave what is in these photos up to the viewers imagination, it does make for some interesting conversation.

If you are like other people who viewed them, they believe it is just stains on the wall (or a bit of undigested meat- there is more gravy than grave… about them… Charles Dickens )

Paranormal Investigator Dwayne Claud

Have you ever wanted to learn more about ghost hunting, but were afraid to ask? I recently had the pleasure of interviewing paranormal investigator, Dwayne Claud on LoveToKnow’s Paranormal channel.

Dwayne shared information on his books, Rochester Haunts: A Ghost Hunter’s Guide and Baptism By Fire (real life accounts on demonology).

Mr. Claud gives advice on things that you can do to have a successful ghost hunting experience, as well as things you should NEVER do (hint: provoking ghosts doesn’t always get you the desired results!).

Haunted Breast Implants

Okay, on the humorous side, this headline definitely caught my eye.  I had to think about how breast implants could become haunted in the first place.  Did surgeons re-use breast implants from dead people?  Did an evil spirit take up residence in silicone?  Just how exactly does one discover they have haunted breast implants to begin with?  Do  they start doing things independent of normal movement?  Do they twirl like a stripper’s pasties?

If you are tittering hopelessly by now, you aren’t alone.  As it turns out, this was a telephone prank pulled by Crank Yankers (Comedy Central) on a paranormal investigator.

Paranormal Research Society of North America

The Paranormal Research Society of North America (PRSNA), is located outside of Pottstown, Pennsylvania.  They like to investigate claims of paranormal activity without the use of psychics or psychic tools like divining rods, Ouija boards and the like.  They search for a scientific explanation of things that may be called hauntings.

Visit the PRSNA website if you have some unusual happenings that you would like investigated with scientific accuracy or if you would just like to learn more about this group.
